Great, I have fixed the commit locally for these documentation changes.

Yes, only elisp code for 'list'/'info' UI was touched. I'm not sure
what "functionally equivalent" means. For a user, there shouldn't be
any visible changes. But the internals (I mean the code itself) was
changed completely. There are also some changes in user variables (I'm
mentioning them in another message).

I agree with this proposal :-)
